About Wynona
Wynona Russ is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship challenges. She emphasizes straightforward support and practical steps so clients can start feeling steadier in daily life. Wynona focuses on listening first.
She aims to understand each person's story and the pressures they are under. From there she helps people set small goals and build skills they can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses worries about relationships, parenting stresses, blended family issues, panic attacks, and mood concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, self-esteem struggles, and questions about life purpose. Cultural background and identity are taken into account in her approach.
Wynona draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral tools and DBT skills to teach coping strategies. Mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas are used when they fit a person’s needs. Sessions are practical and focused on what a person wants to change now.
Therapy with Wynona tends to be collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps clients practice communication, manage overwhelming feelings, and experiment with new ways of handling stress. The goal is better functioning and more confidence in day-to-day life.
Approaches and online options for building coping skills
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective, helping them feel heard and understood while they decide what changes to make. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying techniques in session, checking what helps, and adapting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for longer sessions and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are helpful for short check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel.
